Different aspect functioning of the brain (risk of encephalopathy)

Electrical impulses function with chemical receptors and thanks to them the brain of the person can translate impulses into actions or thoughts. Different parts of the brain are responsible for different functions. For instance, occipital lobes are in charge of vision, while Broca’s area is in charge of speech production and etc.

It is necessary for the person to have enough glucose, oxygen, vitamins and nutrients to function properly. What can cause the abnormal functioning of the brain?
